PLOUGH.

TO ALL WHOMIT MAY- eonennu.

Be it known that I, J. S. BEALS, of Alabama Centre, in the county ofGencsec, and State of New York, have invented a new and improved Plough;and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clea r,'and exactdescription thereof, which will enable those skilleddn the art to makeand use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,forming part of this specification, inwhi'ch Figure 1 represents a sideelevation of my improved plough.

Figure 2 is a front elevation of the same.

Figure 3 isa detail horizontal section of the same, taken in the line atz, fig. 2.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

This invention relates to certain improvements on the plough for whichLetters Patent were granted to me on the tenth day of April, 1866. v

The improvement consists in the construction of the supplemental share,and in the manner of securing the same to the standard, and in securingthe coulter to the lower cnd of the same standard on which the saidsupplcmenta-ry share is arranged.

A is the share and mould-board, B the beam, and G the handle of anordinary plough. D is the supplementary share, which is constructed ofsteel plate, or othcr suitablc material, which is bent sonsto present aconcave front, and which is provided with double cutting edges a a, oneat the lower end and one at the upper en This sha-r'cis secured by meansof one ormore rivets, b, to the horizontal arm of an L-shapcd bar, E.The upper end of the vertical arm of E is arranged in form of a sleeve,which surrounds the standard F, to which it is secured by a set-screw,e, as is clearly shown in fig. 2. The standard F is secured to theright-hand side of the plougl1-beam by a clip, d, as shown. It will thusbe seen that the share D can be adjusted up and down on the standard F,and be held in any desired position by the set-screw c.- The share Ditsclfcnn, when its lower cutting edges are worn oli', be turned on-thcbar E by taking out the bolt or rivet b, so that the cutting edges onthe upper end of the share D can be used. One such share can thus beused for nslong a time as otherwise two shares would be used. To thelower end of the standard F is firmly arranged the coulter G, which isthus close to the left-hand side of the, share D, so that the saidcoulter forms aland-sidc'for the share D, and cii'ectually prevents theescape towards that side of thcshare of any of the soil which is takenup by the share D. The construction oi the whole plough is alsosimplified by doing away with the separate standard for the coulter.

I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. Making theopposite ends of the share D equal to each othcr, so as to provide thesame with double cutting edges a a, substantially as and for the purposeherein shown and described. 7

2. Securing the share D to thcilower portion of a bar, E, which isadjustable on the standard F by means of set-screw c, substantially asand for the purpose herein shown and dcs'erihcdl r 3. Securing thecoulter G-pn the lower end of the same standard on which thesupplen'ientary share D-is arranged, substantially as and forthc'purposc herein shown and described.
